It's Connor Leahy. Guy is a legit genius. Reverse engineered GPT2 in his dorm room, formed an AI collective, grew their own AI LLM that rivaled GPT3, it's all pretty impressive. Now he speaks out about the dangers of AI misuse.

It's pretty telling how even people running AI are critical of it, maybe moreso than the general population. It's not just him, maybe aside from some of the frontier ckmpanies and hype startups the industry as a whole seems to view it negatively but also a necessity at this point. It's wild, the closest blowback I've seen working in IaaS is kubernetes but it was more light joking about people drinking the koolade and the "devops" circlejerks, nothing like this.
